UK: Hold my beer
HMC&E had CusOPS, EOPS, and VAVOPS. They told management what the inputs (staff) and outputs (additional revenue) were, nothing else needed
Who is HE to DO THIS?!?
Ok, so which part of this is remotely legal?
There are several employment law violations, plus the civil service do not work for the PM, and Musk has no authority to make such an intimidatory threat.
Never mind the strikes that would follow. Any UK PM would be gone inside a week.
I assume everything ends up at the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court is swamped and all the legal challenges get stuck in the backlog.
FML, we’ve not even done a full 4 weeks of this lunacy, what the hell will 4 years be like?
power in the UK we would be under the same threat.
Hopefully, council by-elections seem to show only a few bigots have successfully raised their ugly heads.
It's unlikely to happen, but it would be interesting.
Sarwar wants to set up his own version of DOGE.
Labour can do one.

What a mess ☹️
Absolute joke.
WHICH AWAITS THE MUSK-TRUMP ATTACK ON DEMOCRACY.
The EQUIVALENT of a McCarthy Withhunt for Fascist & Authoritarian Sympathizers is the inevitable result of the Current Trump/Musk DESECRATION OF DEMOCRACY.
Trump, Musk, Miller, Bannon et al will be prosecuted
'I watched the US being asset stripped by self serving billionaires and a self appointed 'kiing'.'
And end with
'What did you do?'
Even in the States there are some protections for staff, I assume particularly Federal ones.
Maybe they could all say ‘This week I have been mostly hating DOGE’.
If so other than "sweeping roads" what would your weekly accomplishments be?
It’s illegal in the USA too.
I imagine it would be along the lines of:
Snorted cocaine.
Ripped off Tesla owners.
Snorted cocaine and had another woman.
Smoked a couple of joints.
Made numerous facile one word comments on X.
Snorted.
Gave Donny one.
Let one of my brats loose in the Oval...
